Letter To Justin Trudeau From Cardinal Collins Fails Catholic Test

It’s an interesting letter, well written and making some
good and relevant points...

But that particular letter just as easily could have been
written by a politician or as a letter to the editor by Joe Q. Public. In fact,
since Trudeau announced his new restrictions last week there have been a
multitude of Canadians who have done exactly that, weighing in on the subject, making
the same points as the Cardinal, through various media, letters to the editor,
blog postings,
etc.

But the Cardinal is not a politician; he’s the Vicar of
Christ for Toronto. He was commissioned by Christ to go after men’s souls. And what
has the Cardinal said
to Trudeau about his soul? Has he ever said anything
to this public sinner, obstinately persisting in manifest grave sin? Has any
other Catholic Bishop in Canada? Has Trudeau ever been talked to about the
precarious position of his soul in light of his public support of abortion? Has
he ever been denied
Holy Communion? Have any steps whatever been taken by the Bishops to address
the scandal
caused by such anti-Catholic, anti-God, anti-life public pronouncements and
positions?

And what if he becomes our next Prime
Minister? What then, eminent Bishops?

Even a letter to Justin Trudeau from a fellow Catholic on
the street would have demanded strong rebuke and a severe warning for the good
of Trudeau’s soul, if indeed the Catholic were in tune with his faith.

But rest assured, a great many pro-lifers in Canada will
give the Cardinal high marks for sending his letter, as though he has fulfilled
the duties
of his office and done all a Catholic Bishop can be expected to do.

And speaking of the same, tomorrow, another 300 unborn
children will be torn apart by legal abortion in Canada largely because of laws
introduced and sustained by the actions and rhetoric of “faithful” Catholic
politicians…while Bishops looked on.
